My app is using MySQL. Right now, the IP/Port, username and all that stuff is hard coded in a string.
Public urlMySQLDatabase1 As String = "Server=173.201.88.22;port=3306;Database=DBName;Uid=DBName;Pwd=DBpassword;"
So all the code that needs this string gets it here.
But I was thinking- what if later in the future I need to change this- I could send out an email to the users to open a form I created and they could change the IP. So I created a form, and I can write this IP to an .ini file my app uses to hold some other data.
When the app pulls anything from the .ini file, it calls the loadSettingsFile()
Public Sub loadSettingsFile()
If File.Exists(mySettingsFile) Then
Dim arFileLines() As String = IO.File.ReadAllLines(mySettingsFile)
[Code].....
how can I write that string above (urlMySQLDatabase1) to use the IP that's written in the .ini file and not always hard coded?
I am new to using visual basic 2005. I have a tutorial book and I have followed it but it does not help me understand. I have a limited understanding of the net framework and the drag and drop features.
What I want to know is this: How do I make a simple name and address tracker file that I can enter data and save it as a file. The book does not cover this proceedure but It is what I want to do.
IE: Start VB2005 start new windows app. Name (whatever) drag 2 label's and 2 textbox's and one button for saving data entry. I want this program to enter name in textbox1 (press enter) then enter address in textbox2 (press enter) then save file (whatever name) when you click the button.
That title is really confusing I know. But I will try and make sense of this.If you drag a file onto a rich text box, it will add this little watermark-ish thing with the file extensions icon, and the file name.
Is there a way that I can get that files address, upon a certain event?
Are there any IP Address filters or masks available in Windows Forms as per following screenshot? A backslash shouldn't be allowed or it should be filtered somehow.
SocketException was Unhandled: Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted I get this error every time i click collect a second time.
I have an account with a website and I want my software to automatically download files that are generated.
I go to the website and login, and then I click a link that downloads a file. Unfortunately, I can't use the My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile function, because the first argument of that function is a file address (http:// www . website . html/file.txt). Instead of that, the address if I look at the link to download the file is something like this (http:// www . website . com/pid=1&output=csv&action=view&pview=pview).
You see how this won't work? I'm looking to use my software to automatically download the file that's available, but I can't use the DownloadFile function.

I'm trying to use the DHCP API (using the references on pinvoke.net) to retrieve a computer's MAC address when given the IP address but I can't get the code to work. I've run all the C# code on pinvoke.net through the C#-to-VB converter but I'm stuck now.
Here's what I have so far. The value of res is always 5 (should be 0). Thing is, I can't find any documentation on what the return codes mean
vb Private Sub GetMACDim client As String = "1.1.1.1" Dim server As String = "0.0.0.0" Dim si As New NativeMethods.DHCP_SEARCH_INFO si.SearchType = NativeMethods.DHCP_SEARCH_INFO_TYPE.DhcpClientIpAddress si.ClientIpAddress = Convert.ToUInt32(StringIPAddressToUint32(client)) Dim res As UInteger Dim oInfo As IntPtr
I want to make a program that looks like an address book (name, birth date, phone, e-mail etc) and stores all the persons data in a txt file. If I add a new person, for example, it will be added after the last person that was added in that txt file.
i used System.Net.Webclient to download a file from https address with username and password.I want to know if it is possible to get all file names from that https location, delete files,etc.
I have a column in an excel file which contains a string. I need to loop through each row in the excel file and extract an email address from the string.
1. Can I include a database in an exe file? - I am trying to create a small launcher application which contain 10-20 IP addresses with name, addresses, phone and email for people I help out on a regular basis. I would prefer if I could have the DB containing this info included in my launcher app, so I could carry it around on a USB stick.
2. How do I get mstsc.exe (remote desktop) to launch with an IP address from my DB above?- In my small app I am trying to add a launch button for each person. So if I am helping "person1", then I click the button next to him, and it launches my remote desktop of PC Anywhere to his IP address....
My initial thought was to use an ini file with my exe file, and modify the ini file with data through the app, but I want to be sure that there is no way I can include this information in the exe file.As I want to be able to change the connection information through my app interface I reckon I am forced to use either a SQL DB or some sort of file DB right?
I have a text file that needs to be uploaded to a ftp , however it needs to overwrite any existing file with that name.the filename will never change but data inside does, thats why we need to upload it to provide the most current data.filename = rawdata.txt..I have a basic form with a timer or button to send the file, I just need the code. In the mean time im messing with my last post code to see if there is a way to modify it to upload files but not having much luck.You Know Your Addicted To Computers When - Your main computer is a 7 terabyte, Core2Quad 3 Ghz +, with 4 or more gigs ram, over 200 programs installed, and you would rather sit with it programming than go to the movies!I've got 13 PC's in the House and 7 are in my bedroom and my main one exceeds this set of stats.

I work for a somewhat large company.There are about 160 Windows XP Pro users. We are still using Microsoft Office 2000 for the most part.We have upgraded some users to Office 2003. We are not using Microsoft Exchange.I have to export every users' Outlook 2000 or Outlook 2003 Contacts into an Excel or CSV file every 6 months as a way of backing the Outlook Address Contacts.Currently I am doing this by physically going to every pc and manually exporting the contacts.This is a large pain.I am trying to find out if I can use or create a Visual Basic 2008 Express program or script that will export the contacts from Outlook and save it as an Excel or CSV file.The name of the file should be the same as the computers net name.It should be saved in the same location, on the network, each time.I am new to programming and new to VB 2008 Express.I do not know or have any code to start with.
where i put the *'s i get the error "The parameter 'address' cannot be an empty string. Parameter name: address".

desktop application I need to refer and load some files to manipulate (Like dBase III .dbf files) or to show (ESRI .shp files).

I want to run a FTP url in explorer. (Not in IE) What i want is some how when the button clicked the URL should appear in the address bar of the windows explorer.
This is because the ftp I access should be accessed in that way (By typing the url in the address bar of..lets say ..mycomputer window.)
I don't knw whether both do the same thing. But when I do I manually I could access the FTP by typing the URL in address bar in mycomputer(I think it is windows explorer) but not by typing it in the address bar of IE.
way to put an address in the address bar in windows explorer
